Frosty Friends Christmas

By
I'm sharing three cards featuring some of the cute characters using the Frosty Friends stamp set from issue 75 of Creative Stamping mag by Clearly Besotted.  My sledging penguin having fun in the snow has a backdrop of an igloo made from a die cut circle embossed with a brick stencil.  There's some added frosted lace stickles and fluffy stuff.


Next comes a clean and simple style card with a little elf snuggled into the top of a stocking stamped on some patterned paper.  I did use a sentiment from a different set as I preferred the style of the lettering.  Embellished with a scattering of die cut stars.


It's Christmoose!  I stamped the moose amongst trees on a hillside and die cut into an oval to use as a topper for the patterned papers behind, top section has been over stamped with snowflakes and a couple of hearts, bottom section has added die cut snowflakes.


There are lots more stamps in the set I've yet to create with, some can be used all year round too another added bonus.

I Spy With My Little Eye ... Guest Designer

By

So lovely to be invited by Ellie from Simply Ellibelle's blog as guest designer for challenge 14 of " I spy with my little eye.... something with wings " selected by Pauline.  A fabulous theme with so many possibilities ... I chose to ink up this wonderful large scale owl with draft lines and geometric styling and created a spotlight die-cutting technique. Owl stamped and heat embossed with clear EP then die cut part of the image into a circle.  To make the background, two different distress inks (one green, one blue) were smooched onto the remaining panel.  I did some light stencilling in areas, blue ink for the hex matrix pattern, white ink for the circles with iridescent mica pigment powder so they catch the light.  Finally some over stamping in smoke blue ink (which looks more light grey) for the doodle patterns and additional words (spread your wings, soar, fly).  Die cut circle has another layer underneath so it's slightly raised and left uncoloured.  Die cut &a

Let it Snow

Crafting has been a bit hit and miss for me of late as family life has just got in the way but at last a Christmas card made for two challenges, a late entry for  September's CAS Mix Up  and a new colour challenge that has caught my interest called  Color Hues . I masked off a panel on the front of my card base and blended a mix of blue inks to create an ombre effect from turquoise to navy with a few splatters of water to add interest and lift some of the ink.  I've not embossed with dies very much so had to hunt where I had written down the sandwich for my Big Shot!  I'd forgotten how little pressure was needed to get a lovely embossed impression.  I chose a few snowflake dies and positioned them partly on/off my inked panel to widen the overall design then stamped the gorgeous sentiment at the bottom (I do love this flowing font) and a few falling little snowflakes all in navy blue. Some finishing touches just to edge the inked panel with a navy glitter gel pen and some a

Chatty Bar

The Chatty Bar stamp set designed by Zinski Art was perfect for a fun drink themed card I needed.  Look at their expressive faces!  Images combined with a geometric embossed background and witty sentiment. Background created by applying blue/green ink to a geometric stencil, spritzed with water, placed onto ochre coloured cardstock and embossed through my die-cutting machine to create the embossed pattern with ink transferred like a faux letterpress effect.  Added some pieces of black/gold geo-patterned papers for interest and to ground the images.  Stamped and clear heat embossed images coloured with a mix of watercolour paints, alcohol markers and coloured pencils before fussy cutting and adhering.  Sentiment stamped and white heat embossed on a scrap of patterned paper cut into strips. I've used - 6x6" white card base Funky Fossil Chatty Bar stamp set Funky Fossil stencil, cardstock & patterned paper from Papercraft Society Box 52 Distress Oxide inks; Stamps by Me Cotto
